ya i know the tittle sounds shitty but i need a new pair of boots and my feet are wide and in pain.

as of now i have a pair of spk's and they fit OK but are still tight. the spks were on sale and i knew they were a good boot so i bought them... not a very good decision...

so if you have a boot brand or a specific boot that fits wide feet well hit me up. i need some help guys so hit me up..

im a 28.5

Generally speaking, the SPK is one of the widest lasts out there (about a 105mm), so there's not that much else that is wider. You can always have the shell stretched too, it's not a big deal.

But here are some options for other wide boots to go check out:
Atomic Overload (actually adapts to your foot width up to 106mm- we say that but it goes further)
Full Tilt Booter (probably still too narrow)
Tecnica Phoenix series (102mm but fits wider)

I have a pretty wide foot and I just got the Nordica Ace of Spades boot this year and it fits perfect.

No way dude, 104mm last with the same narrow heel of our Hawx. You can get it in a full PU construction and 120 flex. Definitely one of the best skiing wide boots out there.

Yeah, the B60 is the starting price point for us, so it is going to have the most basic everything, from type of plastic to buckle to liner. As you go up the line, those elements change and get way better.

Atomic Overloads - if you're looking for a park boot. They have a 102-106mm variable last. My feet are stupidly wide and they fit me good and proper.

could the problem be that the boot is not a big enough size? i can not feel the tip of my boots with my toes however i have both the top and bottom buckles set on the longest or biggest notch.

I have a wide foot. I've also tried on and skied in a few boots with 100+ lasts. Here's how I rank them:

1. Nordica ace of spades. solid width, liner packs out quick over time. My favorite flex.
2. Full tilt booter (flex 4 tongue). width was good, nothing beats an intuition liner. Despised the flex. not sure if that's because of the tongue or FT mechanics
3. SPK pro. good flex, but I just dont feel as secure in a 2 buckle boot regardless of buckle size. felt like it would prevent against more against shin and toe bang more than the other 2.

hope that helps, but there's a lot more boots out there worth looking at. also,it is possible to blow out shells so keep that in mind

holy lord. as onenerdykid said, the b-series. Or even the live fit which adapts to your foot.
